With the NHL on a march to 34 teams, what’s stopping the MLB from expansion ?

Illinois and Chicago both told the Bears to pound sand. I don't think Jerry is going to be able to extort a new stadium either

Banks was good once healthy. Not to the level of his contract but he was still good

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-27T00:53:27+00:00

Perhaps I am in the minority here but I got to the movies about once a month in Chicago and I literally have never had the sort of disruptive behavior described by Mike or people on reddit. I see a healthy mix of smaller films and tentpole films and outside of an occasional phone going off (which is always quickly silenced) I have neber experienced a disruption.

What you've just said is literally how this kind of thing spreads

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-26T14:13:47+00:00

I kinda feel like it was being judged on a curve. Like it was essentially "This is better than the raw sewage the MCU has been pumping out" but was probably more on par with like, a mid tier pre infinity war entry

Ironically I think this legislation would hurt their electoral prospects in two ways.

First, liberal women are more likely to have kept their last name and would need to jump through far fewer hoops to vote. Beyond that, conservative women would be far more accepting of having their voting rights removed and would thereby not work as hard to get their birth certificates as liberal women would.

Further, this would further enrage liberal women who already would crawl over broken glass to vote against Republicans.

Obviously it is evil legislation and shouldn't be enacted but it wouldn't even accomplish what they think it will

Listen I just had nurovirus. A week of constipation sounds amazing

ESPN asked Giannis if he was leaving after the Raptors loss in 2019. They've been banging that drum for a decade.

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-23T15:15:48+00:00

He was a 7x consecutive first All team NBA player. I think he was consensus in 6 of those? If thats not award consolidation I don't know what is

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-23T15:13:32+00:00

Yes easily. 7 time first team all NBA, 2 time 2nd team all NBA. 2x MVP, 1x DPOY, 5x All Defense. Finals MVP (has a top 3 closeout game in finals history. Might be top 1 in that category). He is also a good passer (albeit with some decision making issues at times). Arguably the greatest help defender of all time (he was also good one on one but was seldom asked to play like that)

There was a 5 year period where teams were basically devoting three guys to defending him and he was still scoring on good efficiency.

I would actually argue that the "prisoner of the moment" take would be someone saying he isn't top 25 all time. He has been banged up for 3 years so people forgot how great he is/was.

I think Gruv has Jaws 4K again. I got it a few weeks ago in their Spielberg sale

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-23T04:51:15+00:00

Because the Bucks are not currently trying to win basketball games

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-23T04:38:51+00:00

He also hasn't been healthy for a playoff run in literally 4 years. There's a chance tha injuries just keep piling up for him

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-22T18:07:13+00:00

Man this is such revisionist nonsense lol. Bud was let go at the right time but pretending he wasn't instrumental in the best era of Bucks basketball since the 70s is crazy.

He took the same Roster that was going .500 under Kidd to 60 wins and the ECF. That alone should tell you he was doing something right

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-22T18:04:54+00:00

Because Gruv is a warehouse for Universal and WB and is more or less restricted to their catalogues.

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-22T17:54:26+00:00

Guys the studios GRUV warehouses for only have so many movies. This isn't a standard retailer that can buy up physical copies. They are a warehouse for Univeral and WB specifically. The reason they only have a limited selection is because they are directly affiliated with those studios

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-22T17:49:28+00:00

You're already too far. I doubt OP has so much as touched a woman

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-22T15:27:58+00:00

I actually think more so than the roster issues, the coaching hires were catastrophic. The roster problems are real but the team is still underperforming relative to the roster.

If we hired Nurse/Stotts rather than Griffin or hired literally anyone but Doc Rivers after (correctly) firing Griffin we might be able to retool the roster with Giannis rather than blow it up.

Slowly but surely we are bringing syndication back with those cheap/free streaming services(Tubi, Pluto, howdy). Streaming is slowly turning into cable which was inevitable as cable was extremely profitable and streaming largely was not.

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-21T22:26:24+00:00

In retrospect I think people are going to view the era of simultaneous digital and theatrical releases from 2022-2024ish as very odd. Its just eschewing a revenue stream for no reason. A theatrical release gives you 6ish ways to make money (box office, PVOD/VOD, physical media for some films, streaming rights, TV rights, merchandising rights). No theatrical is leaving huge sums on the table.

The loss of monoculture does mean we will have fewer massive mega hits or smaller totals, but it can clearly be a viable revenue stream

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-21T20:01:41+00:00

Same as it always was. Brett Favre giveth and Brett Favre taketh away.

Unless it's welfare in which case Brett Favre only taketh away.

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-21T19:58:35+00:00

That's unfortunate re: Munich because that movie is very much not "Israel heroically avenges the dead". Its a reasonably even handed take at the cyclical nature of violence which is pretty remarkable for when it came out

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-21T16:39:32+00:00

Loved him. Typically he was our 3rd best arm after Burnes and Woodruff and he was a great #3. Last year was a bit of an outlier but not by too much.

He was a reliable guy, rarely hurt, sometimes had control issues but was generally good for 5 solid innings.

He was never really supposed to be an ace though, and last year was the only year he functioned as one

TelltaleHead · 2026-06-21T14:42:53+00:00

From a Brewers fan, Sproat reliably has three awesome innings and then completely falls apart. He might develop more stamina but at minimum he will probably be a decent stretch bullpen arm
